Tatum is very passive right now. Head is clearly not in the game right now.

Yeah, he's stinking it up tonight.

What an absolutely embarrassing letdown of a quarter. Took our foot off the gas and gave them the momentum they needed.

So much for coming out strong and focused after the ASB. Lasted all of 8 minutes.

Joe goes zone...the other team goes on a run
Once you are labeled 'the best' you want to stay up there, and you can't do it by loafing around.

Yeah, the zone has been terrible all year. We have great man defenders across the whole roster so why play zone?

Disappointing showing from Zinger so far.  He's been bad on both ends, especially defensively.  Not offering enough physicality or resistance.

2 1 2 zone doesn’t work.

I hope this isn’t the beginning of a losing streak. But tonight they look lazy and disinterested which is concerning

Guess Tatum still on vacation

Yeah, if ever there was a time. KP and Luke are basically unplayable right now

 Cavs going to lose so that’s a plus

Good.  Keep driving the ball Tatum.

But hit the dang free throws.

A little more physicality and purpose to open the third.  Good to see.
